No matter what their age,their job,their sex,the results were completely clear:women have more friendships than men,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable”.More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed would not name a best friend.Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend,and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend,most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(感情危机).“Most women,”says Rubin,“identified at least one,usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a trouble moment,and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”“In general,”writes Rubin in her new book,“women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support,but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.”For the most part,Rubin says,interactions(交往)between men are emotionally controlled—a good fit with the social requirements of“manly behavior”.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,”Rubin writes,“the two share little about their innermost feelings.However,a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage;it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on a sofa.”4．What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that__________.A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandB.women have so much to shareC.women show little interest in ballgamesD.he finds his wife difficult to talk to5．Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to__________.A.a male friendB.a female friendC.her parentsD.her husband 6．According to the text,which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?A.Ending his marriage without good reason.B.Spending too much time with his friends.plaining about his marriage trouble.D.Going out to ballgames too often.7．Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?A.Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.B.Women are more serious than men about marriage.C.Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.D.Women depend on others in making decisions.CThough scientists warn that global warming will likely continue for centuries,there are a few things we can do to decrease the effects. Basically,they all boil down to this:Don't use as much of the things that create greenhouse gases.You can help by using less energy.The electricity that operates lots of the equipment in our homes comes from a power plant,and most power plants(工厂)burn fossil fuels(矿物燃料)to produce that power.Turn off lights when they're not in use.Take shorter showers to use less hot e a fan instead of an air conditioner on a warm day.Here are some other ways that can help decrease greenhouse gases:．Make sure your car is properly turned up.This allows it to run more efficiently and produce fewer harmful gases.．Walk or ride your bike if possible,or share a car or take a bus to work.．Turn lights and other electrical equipment off when you're not using them.Even though a light doesn't produce greenhouse gas,the power plant that produces the electricity used by the light probably e lights which use less energy and last longer.．Recycle.Garbage(垃圾)that doesn't get recycled ends up in a landfill,producing methane.．Plant trees and other plants where you can.Plants take carbon dioxide out of the air and release oxygen.．Don't burn garbage.This releases carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons(碳氢合物)into the atmosphere.To really stop sending out more greenhouse gases into the air,we need to develop non-fossil fuel energy sources.Hydroelectric power, hydrogen engines and fuel batteries could all create big cuts in greenhouse gases if they were to become more common. 8．What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.Electricity is mostly produced by fossil fuels.B.We can do little to prevent global warming.C.Global warming will continue for ten years.D.It is better to stop using a fan.9．Why does the writer suggest properly turning your cars up?A.It is good for the engines.B.It reduces the risk of car accidents.C.It allows the cars to run faster.D.It makes the cars less harmful to the environment.10．We can learn that non-fossil fuel energy sources______________.A.send out fewer greenhouseB.are becoming common now gasesC.can stop global warmingD.produce more power11．The writer's purpose in writing the text is to___________.A.tell us the danger of global warmingB.advise people to find new energy sourcesC.introduce ways to decrease greenhouse gasesD.offer the latest information about global warmingDGeorge had just moved into the street and he felt strange that he was not wanted.He knew that perhaps the other boys were trying to get an idea of what kind of a boy he was.This did not help to make him less lonely.He was new and he had to be tested.Still,proving himself would not be all that easy.He did not want to run with bad boys or get into something against the law to prove that he was strong.No!He must show what he was made of in a more helpful way.That was when he got the idea.The next day was Saturday.He knew that most of the boys would be down on the playground and choose up sides for the Saturday game.George knew he could play well and just might be enough to prove he was strong and to make friends with them.He arrived early and did his step exercises.He shot the ball several times and did some other exercises—the most difficult and most wonderful in basketball. Then the boys came.George went through what he had done before the game and showed what he could do.No one said a word.The boys just looked at each other and thought about it.In the end,when it was all over,the biggest of the group just smiled and nodded his head.George knew he had made it. 12．What does“This did not help to make him less lonely”mean?A.George felt more lonely because the other boys wanted to test him.B.George felt as lonely as before when the other boys tried to find out what kind of a boy he was.C.George did not want himself to be less lonely.D.The other boys did not want to make George feel less lonely. 13．Why would it not be easy for George to prove himself?A.Because he was not sure if he was really strong.B.Because he was weak and was not wanted in the street.C.Because he must choose the best one among different ways.D.Because the other boys had found out what kind of a boy he was. 14．When did George decide to prove himself by playing basketball?A.After he had thought about the two wrong ways.B.Long before he moved into the street.C.When the other boys came down to the playground.D.As soon as he showed what he was made of in front of the other boys.15．The name of the story should be______.A.Three Ways to Prove OneselfB.Just One of the BoysC.George Is LonelyD.A Saturday Basketball Game第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

内蒙古高一下学期期末英语试卷(有答案解析）（满分：150分；考试时间：120分钟）学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Nowadays more and more people like to travel, especially when vacations come.A great number of people rush out of their homes or companies to travelling spots. They either drive or take a bus, a train, a ship and so on. Some even ride bikes.However, there is another way of travelling-poorism. People have a tour in the poorest areas of the world. Some people may take a one-day poorest tour, and some even pay to stay in very poor neighborhoods to experience the lowest living standards in the world. Poorism tours take place around the world, and not just in the third world countries. You can, for instance, tour New York neighborhoods in the Bronx, in the Bund of Shanghai. Such tours can take people into the heart of poor areas within some large and rich cities. These tours may awaken people to pay more attention to long-standing poverty, or the effects of war.Some suggest that tours in the poor areas can raise social care. And the money from the tour can be donated to help the people there.1．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “poorism” in the second paragraph? A．贫困B．穷人C．穷游D．可怜的人2．Some people have poorism tours ________.A．to show how rich they are B．to experience the poor lifeC．to enjoy the beautiful scenes D．to see poor people3．Poorism tours can make people ________.A．care for the poverty more B．know about the countrysideC．go to big cities D．go into the heart of rich cities 4．________ like to travel when vacations come.A．Few people B．Poor people C．Lots of people D．Rich peopleEmbroidery(刺绣)is an important art form in Chinese culture.People often embroider handkerchiefs,bed covers,tablecloths and dresses.Shu embroidery is oneof the most famous embroidery styles in China.It's known for its strong expression and smooth needlework.The characteristics are greatly influenced by geographical environment,customs and cultures.Called the“Land of Abundance”,Sichuan province is rich in grain production.The people of this area also enjoy a slow lifestyle.So when embroidering,they are usually patient and willing to spend time pursuing the form’s complexity and elegance.This could also be a reason why Shu embroidery was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2006.Making beautiful Shu embroidery products is never easy.It requires superb workmanship.Meng Dezhi,59,was born to a family of embroiderers.She was one of the most talented employees at the Chengdu Shu embroidery factory.Even so,the long and repetitive nature of the process often challenges her.And in winter,when her hands and feet are freezing,things become more difficult.But her love for the work has encouraged Meng to continue.Even for an experienced master like Meng,finishing a piece requires several days or even a few months.“These experiences may sometimes discourage me,but the love for Shu embroidery always gives me motivation to continue,”said Meng.Meng has also popularized the culture of Shu embroidery when the tradition was at risk of declining.Many cheap products are made by modern machines.In 2005,the factory Meng worked in was forced to close.To make a living and pass along the traditional technique,Meng rented a small space of 10 square meters to teach Shu embroidery skills to the kids and young people.“In the early days,I set up the company just for survival,but now I really feel that I have the responsibility to pass on Shu embroidery skills to young people.”“It is like sowing a seed—who knows which of them will become an inheritor(继承人)or guardian of our culture in the future?”she told China Daily.5．What is special about Shu embroidery?A．It mainly features images of animals.B．It is complex and delicate in workmanship.C．It affects local lifestyles in Sichuan province.D．It’s developed from traditional Chinese paintings.6．What makes Meng Dezhi stick to embroidering?A．The nature of Shu embroidery.B．The passion for Shu embroidery.C．The influence of her family tradition.D．The profits from Shu embroidery products.7．What does the underlined word“It”in the last paragraph refer to? A．Setting up a company for a living.B．Renting a 10-square-meter space.C．Making cheap products with modern machines.D．Teaching Shu embroidery skills to the young generation.8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Art Made with Modem Machines B．The History of Shu Embroidery C．Passing on Needlepoint Perfection D．A Talented Shu Embroidery EmployeeMany Android and iPhone owners use Google services on their mobile phones or tablets. One of the most widely used location services is Google Maps. When someone uses Google Maps, information about times and locations is recorded and stored.Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example, are designed to identify a user’s location to provide local weather information. Even some Google Internet searches can result in the collection of information about exactly where a person was when the search was made.Google says it collects the data to improve users’ localized experiences. But such practices have also raised privacy concerns. Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. In some ways, Google is clear about asking permission to use location information. For instance, Google Maps will seek approval from a user to give the app access to locations. If a user agrees tolet Google collect location information over time, Google Maps will show this history in a “timeline” that shows the person’s daily movements.Google also has a “Location History” setting. The company says any user can turn off Location History at any time. And when Location History is turned off for a user’s account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.Google states users can stop the saving of all location markers by turning off another setting, however, which is not clearly identified as being connected to location tracking. The setting is called “Web and App Activity”. It stores different kinds of information from Google apps and websites to a user’s Google account. 9．Why does the author mention Weather apps?A．To advise people to stop using them.B．To stress Google services are widely used.C．To prove Google collects users’ data illegally.D．To show many apps can track a user’s location.10．What is the voice from the privacy activists?A．Users should use the Internet less.B．Google should stop tracking users.C．Google should respect users’ privacy.D．Google should turn off location services.11．What does the author indicate in paragraph 4?A．The Location History setting is difficult to find.B．The AP asks Google to remove Location History.C．Turning off Location History can avoid being tracked.D．What Google announces is hardly consistent with the fact.12．Which can best summarize the passage?A．Using Google puts you into a dangerous state.B．Google services urgently need to get improved.C．Google still tracks you with Location History off.D．Web and App Activity has endangered people’s life.Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.So here is my advice: Lead by action.13．What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph?A．Share an apartment with you. B．Join you in what you’re doing. C．Transform your way of living. D．Help you to make the decision. 14．What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars? A．He disapproved of it. B．He was favorable to it.C．He was tolerant of it. D．He didn’t care about it.15．What can we infer about the author?A．She is quite good at cooking. B．She respects others’ privacy. C．She enjoys being a housewife. D．She is a determined person. 16．What is the text mainly about?A．How to get on well with other family members.B．How to have one’s own personal space at home.C．How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.D．How to control the budget when buying groceries.二、七选五The hot summer months come with unbearable heat. We always want to turn on thehome without using the air conditioner. Meanwhile, you can save money on your electric bill.Block out the heat of the sun with your curtainsWhile this may seem to be almost too simple and too straightforward a method to keep your home nice and cool, it really does work. 18 . Therefore, blocking your windows with heavy shades or curtains will not only help you cut your indoor temperature down but it will also help you save upwards of 7% on your energy bills as well.19Make sure that your doors are as air-tight as possible so that you can prevent cool air from escaping and hot air from entering your home at the same time. Also, make sure to keep the doors that face directions to the south and west closed during the day so you can prevent the hottest temperatures from the sun passing through to the rest of your house.Keep your body cool20 . Drink ice cold water, keep cold packs pressed to your neck or your wrists, and do anything else you can do to keep your core body temperature down. That way, you won’t feel as worn out by the extreme heat during the summer months.Consider a different type of air conditionerWhen all else fails, a top rated window air conditioner unit can be the perfect budget solution. These inexpensive air conditioners work amazingly well to cool down one room of your home. 21 .A．That means high energy billsB．Draw the hot air out of your homeC．Keep a better control of your entranceD．Nearly 30% of all unwanted heat comes through your windowsE．You can take advantage of these lower degrees to cool down your houseF．Cooling yourself from the inside can affect how you feel on the outside G．You can expect to pay only about $20 per month to use them 8 hours per day 三、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AI had had an unusual relationship with my mother, who passe d away in June 2019. From a young age, her life didn’t turn ou t as she’d hoped. As a result, anger and bitterness set in and developed deep roots. After a lifetime battle with depression (抑郁) and every kind of smoke- related illness, she began showi ng signs of dementia (痴呆). In 2014, we moved her into an assisted living facility (疗养院), which changed her life greatly.The ladies there made her come down for lunch and dinner. T hey went to her room to bring her to bingo. They signed her u p when they went out for an outing. Within weeks, she was ch anging and enjoying her new-found social life! And the dementia allowed her to forget her a nger and bitterness. She started loving things again and even made us laugh. I got the mother of my childhood back that ye ar. After she passed away, both staff and neighbours came in to see my sister and me. They cried. They told me how they w ould come in to see her on their days off. They told us how sh e waved every time they walked by and always had a compli ment (赞许). But they didn’t stop there. They gave each of us a smallwooden butterfly box filled with handwritten notes about my m om.The mom of the final two years was not the mom I had for mo st of my life. And these women provided memories that I will k eep in mind forever.1. How was the author’s mother before moving into the facility ?A. Fun and happy.B. Sad but energeticC. Relaxed and brave.D. Depressed and angry.2. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author didn’t look after his mother well.B. The author’s mother had a hard time all her life.C. Only assisted living facilities can change one’s life.D. The author’s mother regained her joy in her later years.3. Which of the following would be the best title of the passag e?A. My Memories of MomB. My Thankfulness to the LadiesC. My Relationship with MotherD. My Mother’s Struggle with DementiaBThere has been a debate for some time that food can be addi ctive (上瘾的). Most researchers may not agree with it. But this spring, e xperts on health discovered that for some, obesity (肥胖症) is “an addiction like smokin g.” One month earlier, a lecture showed that food and drug addictions have much in common , especially in the way that both damage the parts of the brain involved in pleasure and self-control.Earlier this year, some scientists carried out brain-scan studies on children who looked at pictures of chocolate milkshakes (奶昔) and later ate the milkshakes. Children who are regular ice-cream eaters may require more and more ice cream for the re ward centers (奖励中枢) of their brains to tell that they are satisfied.However, meditation and exercise can help the brain to ove rcome food addiction. Food addicts (嗜食者) should look for alternatives that still give pleasure — a fruit smoothie, for example, instead of ice cream.Food addiction seems to be linked to the types of foods we’re eating. It’s easier for human body to deal with foods found in nature, not processed (加工的) foods. When a highly processed food is eaten, the body m ay go uncontrollable. Potatoes are not addictive, but when the y are processed into chips, what happens? Products like chip s are described as super-delicious foods. They were the right combination of something salty, sweet and fatty along with “mouth-feel.”4. Why may regular ice-cream eaters need more ice-cream over time?A. To stop being addicted to it.B. To meet the needs of the brain.C. To control the centre of the brain.D. To satisfy the needs of the stomach.5. What does the underlined word “alternatives” in paragraph3 mean?A. Replacements.B. Fruits.C. Methods.D. Drinks.6. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Processed foods are healthier.B. People are born with food addiction.C. Processed foods usually have a better taste.D. Processed foods are usually more expensive.CThe widespread use of Internet technology has made our live s easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the benefits that n ew technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of St atistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 253.88 million in 2019, about 18.1% of China’s population. But only 2 3% of the senior citizens were able to use the Internet. That m eans more than three-fourths of the elderly are deprived (被剥夺) of the digital benefits.Many senior citizens who can’t use smartphones are facing di fficulties during this pandemic (流行病). Even with a smartphone in hand and Internet available, m any of them still feel helpless. They don’t know how to call a t axi through the apps. There have been reports of many shops turning away elders who don’t know how to pay using smartp hones, instead of letting them pay with cash. Worse still, as th ey don’t know how to get the Internet-based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places. Presenting i ndividual health code is part of the epidemic prevention (防疫) and control measuresNew technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives. But many senior citizens, especiall y those living in the countryside or those whose grown-up children don’t live with them, are not able to use the Intern et or smartphones，either because of financial (财政的) problems or because they cannot learn new things beyon d a certain point. The digital gap between the elderly and the young is becoming more obvious.However, the senior citizens should not become a silent grou p deprived of digital benefits. It is our responsibility to help the m bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they f ace difficulties catching up.7. What do the statistics show in Paragraph 2?A. There are a small number of senior citizens in China.B. Only 23% of the senior citizens can use the computer.C. Three fourths of the elders are unwilling to use smartphone s.D.

J. War e was made to feel this way almost every day in school.By high school, T. J. was the most famous troublemaker in his town. He got into lots of fights. He failed almost every exam but was passed on eachyear to a higher grade level. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year.When I showed up to lead the first training for a leadership retreat, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities, the community leaders told me about T. J. Ware, I knew that I wasn’t th e first to hear about T. J.’s darker side as the first words of introduction.At the start of the retreat, T. J, didn’t readily join the discussion groups and didn’t seem to have much to say. But when his group started a discussion about positive and negative things that had happened at school that year, he joined in and had clear thoughts on those situations, and the other students in his group welcomed his comments. Suddenly, T. J. felt like a part of the group, and soon he was treated like a leader. He was saying things that made a lot of sense, and everyone was listening. By the end of the retreat he had joined the Homeless Project team. The other students on the team were impressed (打动) with his ideas and love for the homeless. They elected T. J. vice-chairman of the team.Two weeks later, Seventy students led by T. J. collected 2,854 cans of food in just two hours, enough to take care of poor families in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered（采访） the event with a full-page article the next da y. T.

J. was treated like a leader by the group members because ________.A.his words was meaningfulB. he was part of the groupC. he joined the leadership retreatD. his deeds were famous at schoolCMost people may think that people who write computer code（编码）must be good at math and logical thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also an important quality for coding.Software developers in the American state of California have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds as they learn to code. Children can play the game on iPads. There are many activities they can do by the game.Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children, nine-year-old Dylan and his 11-year-old sister Meghan, who play the game. According to her, these activities give them important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical skill that the kids are going to need to have as they grow up today” said Dodge.But the developers of Osmo Coding Jam believe writing code should be more than just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side ofcoding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”Hu also sees a growing number of parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge, the mother of Dylan and Meghan, said, “I think you’re going to have to understand at some point the idea of coding will work well in the future.”Hu also explained that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works or just thinking that it’s like a magical machine. He said by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.9.Osmo Coding Jam is designed for___________ .A. training kids’ logi cal thinkingB. helping kids learn to code fastC. helping children learn math wellD. helping kids become more creative10.What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?A. It needs to be improved.B. It is highly addictive for kids.C. It is of great he lp to today’s kids.D. It is imperfect in training kids’ analytical skill.11. Which of the following statements is True according to the text?A. Tanya Dodge agrees that coding is good for children to succeed in future jobs.B. Many parents doubt whether coding will help children work well in the future.C. Creativity is not so important as logical thinking for coding.D. Tanya Dodge has two girls, who play the game, Osmo Coding Jam.12.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To tell how to learn to code well.B. To tell about a new game for kids.C. To encourage kids to learn to science.D. To show the importance of creativity.DI will never forget the days when I met with my classmates. Early in the morning of our first school day, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know yet. I stood up and looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile that lit up her entire being.She sa id, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.After class we shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized（迷住）listening to this “time machine” as she shared he r wisdom and experience with me.At the end of the semester（学期）we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“There is only one secret to staying young. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking round whoare dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously （勇敢地）singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.13.Why did the lady want to hug the author?A.Because she wanted to challenge her professor.B.Because she wanted to break the ice.（打破沉默）C.Because she wanted to find a rich husband.D.Because she wanted to have a college education.14.Which of the following statements agrees with the text best?A.The author enjoyed his experience of riding in the “time machine”.B.The author and the lady soon became close friends.C.Talented people can easily find opportunities.D.Old people usually don’t fear death.15. It can be inferred that Rose is ________.A. a lively college studentB. the author’s girlfriendC. a young and innocent ladyD. an encouraging song第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi.

2020年内蒙古北方重工集团三中高三英语下学期期末考试试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAs the MOOC craze continues to explode, anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question: Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.(1)What is your learning style?Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course, think about how you enjoy learning.Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work well for you. If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing, try a text-based course with lots of note-taking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based assessment.(2)Are you ready to become a full-time student?Be realistic about the time that you can commit to your online studies. Participating in an online course can take as much time and commitment as a class-based program. Check the course requirements and make a plan around your current schedule.(3) Does the course really meet your needs?Whether you are interested in a professional qualification or want to take a personal development course like yoga, there is a MOOC for you. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of taking lots of free courses in everything that you ever wanted to learn. Before you start a course, think about the end goal. Is the course aimed at beginners or advanced learners? Why do you need this qualification?(4) Do you need a support group?Some people learn best from seeing how others approach the problem. If you are such as learner, you will need to supplement your online lessons with an in-person support group.(5) What kind of certification will you get?Take time to find out what kind of certification is available upon completion of the course, and how you can prove your learning to others - for example, certificates, transcripts or digital badges.1. What kind of MOOC's does the author recommend to verbal learners?A. A video-based course.B. A text-based course.C. A forum-based discussion.D. A project-based assessment.2. What kind of learners need an in-person support group?A. Learners who prefer individual work.B. Learners who are in great need of a certificate.C. Learners who are too busy to become a full-time student.D. Learners who learn best from observing how others address the problem.3. What is the passage mainly about?A. Picking the right MOOC's for you.B. Deciding your learning style.C. Taking the right course you need.D. Choosing a suitable support group.BFaming is a tradition among many in South Dakota, one that is not always easy to keep in the family. But one family has survived four generations and hopes to continue long into the future. The year was 1933 when Ed VanderWal's father first stepped onto the farm. Now 80 years later, Ed carries the passion(热情) his father gave him for farming every daywhile working the fields on the family farm in Volga.“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that's what I was interested in doing more,” Ed said. But that love of working the land didn't stop with Ed. He's passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, but two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.Some people might worry that working sun up to sun down with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats(争吵). But for the VanderWals, the constant time together works just fine.“When families work together on a farm, it's a challenge at times getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.And while they all get along like any family, with good days and bad, it's tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.“But we taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do. So it's nice to be able to pass that tradition onto the next generation,” Scott said.The youngest generation of the VanderWals, Ed's three grandsons and a granddaughter, all started learning farming techniques at a young age.4. Why did Ed VanderWal devote himself to the farm?A. Because he grew up on the farm.B. Because he was affected by his father.C Because he could do nothing but work on the farm.D. Because he wanted to set a good example for his sons.5. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Managing a farm is a real challenge.B. Ed has divided his farms into six parts.C. Ed taught his sons how to work on farms.D. Scott and David own their own farms now.6. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The VariderWals have strict family rules.B. Ed's tradition has great effect on the local.C. Ed's grandchildren will drop out of school.D. Ed's farms have no lack of successors (继承者).7. What's the best title of the passage?A. A Faming Family.B. A Successful Farmer.C. The Agricultural 'Tradition.D. The Agricultural Generation.CIn May this year, as part of our 150th anniversary, we asked readers aged between18 and 25 to enter an essay competition. The task was to tell us, in no more than 1,000 words, what scientific advance they would most like to see in their lifetimes, and why it mattered to them.The response was phenomenal: we received 661 entries. Some entrants hoped that science would make their lifetimes much longer than they can currently expect. Many looked forward to work that will end climate change. Others wanted to see advances in our understanding of human history, crop growth, space exploration, and medical technologies. The ideas were inspiring.The winner is a compelling essay by Yasmin Ali, a PhD student at the University of Nottingham, UK. Ali submitted a piece on Beethoven, her brother’s hearing loss and the science which she hoped would one day cure it. It stood out to the judges as a reminder of why many scientists do research: to make the world better tomorrowthan it is today.All essays were judged by a group of Nature editors. The top ten submissions were then ranked by three members of a separate judging group: Magdalena Skipper, editor-in-chief of Nature; Faith Osier, a researcher; and Jess Wade, a physicist. All submissions were kept anonymous throughout the process.We also selected two runners-up(非冠军的获奖者).Physicist Robert Schittkoat Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, proposes that nuclear fusion(核聚变) could offer a solution to the climate crisis, in a piece that effortlessly mixes grand ambition with gentle humour. And chemist Matthew Zajac at the University of Chicagoin Illinois wrote a powerful personal account of why he wants to see advances in the field of same-sex reproduction.The results show that today’s young scientists have a wealth of ideas, talent and conviction that research can transform their world. We look forward to seeing what they do next.8. What’s the essay competition about?A. The scientific expectation.B. The fantastic scientific ideas.C. The dreams of future life.D. The celebration of anniversary.9. Why Yasmin Ali was chosen the winner?A. She showed great talent in music.B. She found the cure for the loss of hearing.C. She appealed for people to care about hearing loss problem.D. She reminded people to remember the meaning of science development.10. What can we learn about the result of the essay competition?A. Robert Schittko won the second place.B. There were two winners in the essay competition.C. Matthew Zajac presented his view of same-sex reproduction.D. The two runners-up were selected for the same field they chose.11. What isthe author’s attitude to the competitors’ ideas about science expectations?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Impossible.D. Ignorant.DWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students inAuckland,New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program forAucklandelementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.12. What was special for some elementary school students inAuckland?A. A digital teacher taught them.B. They first saw something digital.C. This was the start of a new school year.D. They could get close to smartphone screen.13. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A. It can smile back.B. It can use microphone.C. It can talk any topic for free.D. It can change if necessary.14. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Unclear.D. Disapproving.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD.New ZealandWill Replace Teachers in Classrooms第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAre you interested in making a film? In fact making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film may take many weeks. Shooting the film often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and re-acted, filmed and re-filmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio. Churches, houses, and forests are all built of wood and cardboard. Several hundred people work together to makeone film. Some of these people are the actors and actresses. The director of thefilm, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.Most people go to see a film because they know the film stars are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor. It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very real; people feel that they themselvesare among the people in the films.1. Making a film is________.A. quite interestingB. very easyC. quite funnyD. very difficult2. The underlined word “shooting〞 in the first paragraph means _____.A. killingB. watchingC. developingD. making3. The most important person in a film studio isthe .A. actorB. directorC. actressD. writer4. Which would be the best title for the passage? .A. Actors and actressesB. Making a filmC. A directorD. Writing the storyBDo you have a best friend? In America, when people say “man’s best friend〞,they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal-dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children.A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be ta ught to be the “eyes〞 for a blind person or “ears〞 for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visits〞.Americans hold “Be Kind t o Animals Week〞in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you can do this, too. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies. If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a dog on the street, don’t kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.5. Why are dogs brought into hospitals? ________.A. Because they can make the patients happier.B. Because they can find out the problems of the patients.C. Because they are ill and need to see doctors.D. Because doctors can do experiments on them.6. What is the most popular activity on the “Be Kin d to Animals Week〞? ________.A. Playing with pets the whole week.B. Making friends with other people's pets.C. Cooking delicious food for pets.D. Holding pet shows in the week.7. What is the passage mainly about? ________.A. Pets are lovely and need care and protection.B. We have done a lot of things for pets.C. Dogs can help people do many things.D. A lot of people are interested in dogs.CThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Todayhumansexpress themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languagesused in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings changes. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures. Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world languageis often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing? The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever. The future of the world’s language depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allow them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.8.Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only_______languages in the world.A. 6,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. less than 209. In “the languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.〞the underlined word “replace〞means “_______〞.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to take the place ofsomethingC. to find the good place for somethingD. to decide how importantsomething is10. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a popular worldlanguage, _______.A. people would respect their own culture moreB. people would have no trouble in learning languageC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. it would be easier for them to share their ideas11. According to the passage, if nobody spoke the languages of smaller cultures, _______.A. there would be no smaller culturesB. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficulty in working togetherD. many of the words for things we do not know would be lostDHave you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts (蝗虫), but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect them. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietlythrough forests. They are usually invisible(can’t be seen) to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the bark〔树皮〕of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.12. This passage mainly talks about _______.A. the change of colour in locustsB. animals or pests dye〔染色〕themselves different coloursC. the protective colour of animals and pestsD. how a certain sea fish protects itself13.Locusts are pests but they aren’t easily wiped out by t heir enemies because _______.14. A. they fly very fast B. they are dangerous to their enemies15. C. they change colors with the crops D. they are powerful enough14. The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because _______.A. their enemies can easily find them and eat themB. they have the habit of coming out in darknessC. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darknessD. birds take their rests when night comes15. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of year because _______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. no other fishes can swim as fast as it canC. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemiesD. the liquid it sends out makes its enemies unable to find it第二节〔一共5小题，每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择). In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But sheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.4. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?A. She was tired.B. She failed in a test.C. She was late for school.D. She had to walk home by herself.5. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?A. Terrible.B. Meaningful.C. Embarrassing.D. Colorful.6. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A. gave in to meB. said yes to meC. stayed in the placeD. kept to her idea7. What is the best title for the text?A. My Way of GrowingB. The Value of FailureC. My Love for MotherD. Failure in My LifeCMy friend and I went traveling inTasmania,Australialast December. We settled in our Airbnb accommodation, a cozy apartment, not long after we arrived inHobart, the capital city.After briefing us on the kitchen's facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom, our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work, which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms, and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison. And when she detected the curiosity in our tones, she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV. My friend and I exchanged a “this is incredible” look and said “yes” immediately.As we drove, she told us about the buildings that we were passing, the local market and how to get to MONA,Tasmania's well-known contemporary art gallery.And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison. According to our hostess, it currently holds Martin Bryant, a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property. We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist, and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience, not to mention the fact that it's usually cheaper than hotel rooms.But I'm fully aware of the risks of Airbnb, which is why I did my homework before booking online—I checked the reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.That said, it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates me—the interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.8. Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?A. She planned to send the uniform to the prison.B. She found our curiosity about the prison.C. She wanted to show off her SUV.D. She needed to offer a tour for us.9. Which of the following can best explain the word “notorious” in Paragraph 5?A. Unfamiliar to everyone.B. Particularly disappointing.C. Well known for being bad.D. Extremely generous to others.10. Compared with hotels, what is the writer's favorite of the Airbnb accommodation?A. It is cheaper in most cases.B. It supplies a better living condition.C. It offers a much safer accommodation.D. It provides a chance to know local culture.11. What does the author think of finding accommodation on Airbnb?A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.C. Neutral.D. Doubtful.DIf you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them findyou. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches(树枝). Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to go back again easily. When you are lost, the most important thing to do is to stay in one place.12. If you get lost in the forest, you should _________.A. try to find your friends in no timeB. stay in one place and give signalsC. walk around the forestD. shout as loudly as possible13. Which signal is a call for help?A. Crying twice.B. Shouting here and there.C. Whistling everywhere in the forest.D. Shouting or whistling three times together.14. When you hear two shouts or two whistles, you know that _________.A. someone needs your helpB. something terrible will happenC. people will come to help youD. someone is afraid of an animal15. What’s the meaning of the last paragraph?A. Use branches to make a bed.B. Drop branches to look for water.C. Pick off branches to build another house.D.

AThere was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon, I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. “Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other.I found that the two paths were different from each other.The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though they weren’t that beautiful, they made me feel good.I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. It was narrow and dirty. It looked as if it had not been cleaned for mon ths. Grass grew everywhere. For a long time, I couldn’t make up my mind. After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path. It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path.Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park. Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was too small.My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life. Don’t be afraid to choose a different path.

There, from a largenumber of books his friends had mailed to him, Annaud picked up Wolf Totem, a novel by a Chinese author.After almost six years of the film making, Wolf Totem started to be shown throughout China on February 19, 2020.Nowadays in China, most people have got to know that it’s important to protect grasslands and get along well with nature. Annaud said that he was touched by the author’s concerns about the worse and worse environment which has widely influenced the Chinese public and the novel is becoming more and more popular.The film Wolf Totem is about environmental problems because they not only exist in China, Annaud said, adding that many EU members and the United States have also had to deal with these serious problems. According to him, the film shows a message about the importance of a pleasant relationship between man and nature.Both man and the wolf need a good environment to live in, Annaud said. Feng Shaofeng, who played Chen Zhen in the film, was also allowed to raise and train the wolves, so that he could get to know the animals. “Wolves will never accept humans as their master as dogs do; they treat us as friends,” Feng said.5.

And many of today's word experts can thank a famous Englishman for his creation of the way in which they develop many new words. His name was Charles L. Dodgson. Besides working with numbers, Dodgson wrote books. His stories and poems have made Dodgson popular with a lot of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.Lewis Carroll has made so many readers happy, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and a lot of poems. In these works, Carroll developed lots of words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two parts. The name was just right for Carroll's words, because most of his words had two parts. They were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.Although Carroll died long ago, his way to create new words continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as “smog”and “brunch”.8. What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage?A. Dictionaries are open to the public.B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.C. New words can be added to dictionaries.D. The words in dictionaries are always changing.9. From the passage, we know that Charles L. Dodgson was also good at______.A. mathB. actingC. teachingD. music10. Dodgson's made-up words were____.A. made from different wordsB. borrowed from other languagesC. all come from his poemsD. are still widely used11. This passage is mainly about______.A. how Dodgson wrote his worksB. how English words are createdC. how a dictionary is writtenD. how Dodgson created new wordsDHave you visit any famous museums? Many famous museums throughout the world can offer you good chances to enjoy art. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see, but it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. What you need is just a computer connect ed to a telephone. That’s enough.You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is in the school computer. It is computer art, produced by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work. A computer artist could only record his pictures on the computer and send the records to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist will have to need a very expensive printer(打印机).Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computerstudents at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean huge audience for the electronic museum.12.
